On a Scavenger Hunt!

Joining in a very fun photo scavenger hunt that requires all new photos on a series of themes. Sadly, I am unable to capture their button. The blog title is: "Ramblings and Photos: Scavenger Hunt." And the website is http://www.ashleysisk.com/search/label/Scavenger%20Hunt'

And because it was fun AND because they were all shot at home, I'm also submitting this one to Laura and Laura at "Playdates with God" and "On, In and Around Mondays:"

The assignment?

Take original photos, working from a series of prompts.

After 10 days of glowering gloom,

this afternoon brought beautiful blue skies

and sunshine.

So I packed my camera into the car and

set off on some errands. But...

the best laid plans, as they say...and the day disappeared

before I could even swing that camera out of its case.

So after dinner tonight,

I did some local exploring.

And I mean REALLY local - my house and yard -

to see what I could see.

And here is what I found:

Prompt: Emotion

This is a cut from an old piece of sheet music that is framed in our bedroom. I dearly love vintage things and I have always enjoyed the sweet expression of love on the woman's face.

The title of the song? "Along the Way to Waikiki."

We found this one and another that we've framed,

called "My Pearl of Honolulu,"

at a farmer's market on Kauai.

(We love Hawaii, what can I say?)

Prompt: From a Flower's Point of View

A rose at my eye level and what we both saw,

looking east in the fading light.

Prompt: Natural Frame

A brilliant red trumpet flower and its glossy dark green leaves shot through the 'frame' of a runner bean teepee, with lighter green bean leaves climbing up the bamboo.

Prompt: Letters

(Found 3 of these in various rooms of our home.)

Leftover birthday balloons from

my mom's 90th party last weekend.

The swirly letters from my dad's honorary notice of acclamation from the state of California upon his retirement after 35 years of junior college teaching/
